Just a little bit of background on this song I wrote...
My brother and I were talking about life and how it can be a nightmare (he's a marine, he knows for fact). At one point I said "Sometimes life just feels like a bad dream that you can't wake yourself up from". I thought about it alot, and all these thoughts came to my head, things I felt were wrong but slowly it wore me down to the point where I realized life really is a bad dream. These are the "truths" my mind spoke to me....
There's no coincidence in your consequence
No consolation for second best
No prayers that god can comprehend
No way to burn the evidence
Set a crash course for consciousness
Get your head out of the clouds
So you can see us falling down
We bend to break
We give to take
And hold on just to throw it all away
Your sentiments,
My armaments
We'll keep them close beside our beds
You're screaming (they're drowning you out!!!)
I hear you (they're drowning you out!!)
Echoing loud and clear too!
I know these words
They're so familiar to your throat!
"Have you ever felt so down and out!?"
Have you ever been so down?
"Have you ever felt so down and out!?"
Have you ever been so out...out of touch?
You're begging (they see through you!!)
I see you (they see through you!!)
With bending knees and wills too!
I've seen a man
So similar to who you want to be!
Have you ever seen through open eyes!?
Have you ever felt alive?
Have you ever seen through open eyes!?
Have you ever been alive!?!?
We bend to break
We give to take
And hold on just to throw it all away
Your sentiments,
My armaments
We'll keep them close beside our beds
Life is but a dream
AND YOU NEVER WAKE UP!!!
